Benhti Kenaga

Benhti Kenaga' is a Dene Athabaskan language traditionally spoken by the people of Southwest Alaska in Minto and Nenana. Although it was once referred to by some linguists as "Lower Tanana" because of the region where it is spoken, the community prefers its own name, Benhti Kenaga', reflecting the language's unique identity and heritage.

 

Developed by the Doyon Foundation in 2019 as part of the Doyon Languages Online project, it encourages learners to explore the language while gaining a deeper appreciation for the traditions and knowledge it carries.
